Long known as a “railroad community”, Dunellen had outgrown its school facilities which were in need of expansion and renovations. The Lincoln Middle School was a small annexed building attached to the larger High School. The 19,000 sq. ft. addition provided the required space to accommodate the Middle School program. Built within the confines of a “city block” construction was phased to allow for proper egress and construction activities. The 8,700 sq. ft. addition to the John P. Faber Elementary School replaced an existing modular classroom building. The addition allowed for construction of a new full service Kitchen and the relocation of the schools Main Office and Administrative Offices for proper security.
